Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in this category with an A. Inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a grade of B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive grades. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.83721 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality
Turning to our next category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our nursing category. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This place also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
